ICTD在加纳的医疗保健:两个平行案例研究
ICTD for Healthcare in Ghana: Two Parallel Case Studies
摘要:
本文探讨了两个平行的案例研究,以促进在加纳的远程医疗咨询。这些项目由不同组织的不同研究人员独立发起,都在同一年在同一医疗界部署了信通技术解决方案。加纳协商网络目前有125个以上的用户在一个延迟容忍服务器网络上运行一个网上应用程序。OneTouch MedicareLine目前正在为加纳的1700名医生提供免费的移动电话和短信服务,以便与医疗界的其他成员联系。我们提出的后果(1)的机构背景和身份的调查,以及具体的决定(2)形成的伙伴关系,(3)的技术基础设施的看法,(4)高层次的设计决策。最后,我们讨论了所吸取的经验教训和对今后利用信通技术促进发展研究议程的高级别影响。
英文摘要:
This paper examines two parallel case studies to promote remote medical consultation in Ghana. These projects, initiated independently by different researchers in different organizations, both deployed ICT solutions in the same medical community in the same year. The Ghana Consultation Network currently has over 125 users running a Web-based application over a delay-tolerant network of servers. OneTouch MedicareLine is currently providing 1700 doctors in Ghana with free mobile phone calls and text messages to other members of the medical community. We present the consequences of (1) the institutional context and identity of the investigators, as well as specific decisions made with respect to (2) partnerships formed, (3) perceptions of technological infrastructure, and (4) high-level design decisions. In concluding, we discuss lessons learned and high-level implications for future ICTD research agendas.
